Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past. Guilty of looking at our young people and calling them “soft”—as if we were born warriors, as if we didn’t have to become who we are through fire, failure, and guidance.

Life is very simple and we make it hard for ourselves. We surrender our power to outside forces with out a second thought, and we use the excuse i had no choice. Let me turn on the light to help dispel those shadows in your life. We always have a choice. We may not like the consequences that come with the choices but we still have them.
Many of us have trapped ourselves in the darkroom of our lives because we refuse to turn on the light. I cant speak for everyone else but I would refuse to turn on the light because i personally was afraid of what i might see. Once i decided to turn on the light of my life, what i saw was not really that bad.
The question that i ask you today is what is keeping you from turning on the light of your life?
